I'm not going to kill Odie! If he was attacking my children or myself that would be a reason to harm him. But it was a chicken, not a child. I have secured my coop and made it very hard for him to try to dig his way in again. He has been around and sniffing, as has my own dog, but so far so...

Phryst, My chicks are outside in the baby pen in a brooder with a heat lamp from one week old. I'm in South Carolina so they were fine out there this summer. They were hatched on Sept 1st. Up until I saw the game cam pics I thought they were all still huddling together in the brooder. Turns out...

I want the electric fence. Where can I get one at a reasonable price? Do they come in kits or do I need to find different parts and piece it together? I'd like to go around my entire coop.

It WAS Odie!! My game cam caught pictures of him trying to dig under the fence. Yesterday my husband and I went out and secured the run as best we could inside and out. We had taken out a lot of trees this summer so we took the trunks and lined the run with them. Here are pics of him digging...

I reset the camera and will keep my dog inside tonight. Hopefully I will get to see what is around. We have been outside shoring up any weak spots on the runs, I don't want to lose any more chickens. I had four of the Red Stars. The sister to the one that is missing died this morning. When I...

LOL There is no way I'm going to shoot Odie. He is a sweet dog and I don't think he is the culprit. If it's a coon or coyote then I will shoot/trap them without hesitation. But, I'm really starting to suspect my own dog. SHE is who was on the pics last night, sniffing around in the spot that the...

The babies have stayed inside the brooder. I didn't realize they were roosting outside like that until I saw the game cam pics. Tonight is the first night they are inside the big coop (10x16 converted shed) with the rest of my chickens. They have been integrated for the last 2-3 weeks, but have...

There was one pile of small feathers about 3 feet from the hole. I noticed another smaller pile of feathers when I went back out there to shore up where the holes were dug. Tomorrow my husband and I will go over every inch of the run and try to make it more secure. I covered the holes that were...

Something got one of my girls :( I came home today and noticed on the opposite side of the pen something dug up under the fence and there is a pile of feathers nearby. I got my SD card out of the game cam (which is on the other side of the coop) to see if I can find out what did it. I found...

I moved the cam to a different tree to see if I can get a better pic. It seems like Odie comes around at the same time each night. My baby pen is on the left, you can see two of them roosting in there. The only other thing on any of the pics was my dog.

This is my neighbors dog. I'm pretty certain he is the blurry image in my other post. I don't think he is the one harrassing my chickens because my dog knows this dog well and wouldn't react that way towards him. But, he is the only thing I have caught on the cam so far.

Last night I caught a picture of my neighbors dog, who is a Jack Russel. I'm pretty certain he is the one in the picture. I don't think he is the one that has been bothering my coop though. My dog knows him and wouldn't bark all hysterical at him. I cleared out the SD card and set the camera up...

The other pics show my dog sniffing the entire area, this is the only frame that has this guy in it. There are a lot of dogs in our neighborhood as we are very rural. I have two dogs. One came with the house when we bought it 2 yrs ago. She was about a year old and was living under our back...

My neighbor has a trap that she is going to let me use, but she has to get it back from her son first. This is what I caught on the game cam last night... not sure what it is.

The game cam I bought yesterday is a piece of junk. I'm returning it for a better one with the features I really want. Price was right on this one, but it's too slow at capturing anything.

I broke down and bought a game cam today. My dogs have been going nuts in the middle of night. When I let the one out she goes immediately by my coop. I couldn't wait til xmas so I got the cams (2 of them, but one is DOA!) and will check the SD card tomorrow AM to see if anything is on there.

That last picture is from when we were still building the runs, the chair is long gone lol..I also do have heavy cement blocks on top of the hardware cloth that is on the ground, you can see it in the pics. I'm going to see if I can get one of those traps this weekend, I don't want anything...

I have something stalking my chickens. My dog has been freaking out the last three nights at 2 am. She barks and stares at something by my chicken coop. I'm surrounded by woods so it could be anything. I have a security camera out by my babies so I can see them but I haven't been able to see...
